This won’t possibly interest anybody, but my new quarantine project is to listen to all my cds, in the order they are in my shelf, which is roughly alphabetical on this thrift store boom box.
Two cds from The Action Items (the glued-on cover fell off of one): “Changed My Life” and “Groping for the Toggle”
Arlo, “Up High in the Night”
(I should add to the description below, they were really good and it’s not at all confusing why everybody liked them more)

Building of the Heartbreaker Pyramid, demo 2007 and “ #1 Paper Collection”
Those southeast Asian punk bands really knew how to package their cds!

(My alphabetical order is slipping.)

Defiance, Ohio, “Share What Ya Got”
I have at least one other Defiance, Ohio cd somewhere in my house but I can’t find it. It’ll probably pop up later.

God, I forgot how much I love Discount. Also, I used to have two more cds by them, the J Robbins produced one and the compilation of early singles and splits that had the most pixelated, amateur, 13-year-old-using-Microsoft-paint artwork.
Fugazi, “In on the Killtaker” and “Red Medicine”
(Where did “Steady Diet of Nothing” go? That was the first album I bought of theirs. Did I lose it?)

The SDS Trio, “This is the SDS Trio”
(I was heading into a pretty good stretch of cds I really like, so I’m breaking it up with stuff I’m not as excited about. If they’re all at the end, I’ll never finish this dumb project.)

Jawbreaker, “Unfun”, “Live 4/30/96”, and “Etc.”
(Of course I have the rest on vinyl. Who do you think you’re dealing with?)

Knapsack, “This Conversation is Ending Starting Right Now”
(This cd says it’s for promotion only and I must surrender on demand. I will not. You will have to fight me for it.)

Matt Shebesta/The Chimp (I’m not sure what name he was using for this), “Love is Nice Everything is Wonderful”
I sold a bunch of cds, before I moved across country, before I moved across town, after my cd player died. I miss some of them (Angel Hair, Mohinder, “Dead Letter Office”, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin), but I’m also glad I don’t have to listen to three Smiths cds in a row right now.
This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, “Dance Party With...”, “Three Way Tie for a Fifth”, and “Songs of Our Soil”
I just remembered, I did a reading with Jonny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Defiance Ohio, and The Worse For the Wear in Connecticut. While I was reading, someone in the audience farted very loudly.
Kontrasosial, “Endless War”
Error Brain, “Hura-Hura Hura-Hura”
Mawar Berduri, “Tumpas Tuntas”
Young and Dangerous, “Dangerous Youth and the Lifesaving Thrash Punk Tunes”
